"We are extremely proud of all the hard work that these students have put in over the years they have been with us.

"They are a great group of young people who have shown resilience during these difficult times.

"The pandemic has been difficult for all students but we hope that with these well-deserved grades that they can move on to their next phase and think of the all great times they had at Falmouth College."

The college expressed their delight that a number of students are going to be studying at local universities, Alfie, Owen, and Jacob are off to Falmouth University and four others are going to Exeter University.

Francine Atkinson, Deputy Head of College added:

"It was great to see smiles on their faces, we have supported and reassured both our Year 12 and Year 13 students throughout these challenging two years and it is great to congratulate them properly before they leave us for exciting destinations."
